I received occasional spam emails. It is not those "increased my manhood!" or those "wear your personality at a cheaper price on your hand" type.

Instead, are emails like this:

Dear,

There are many crisis happening here in Africa,You may be surprise to believe,but it is real fact,I do not need anything from you rather than your assistance with seriousness and
honest.I wish to solicit your help, My name is Kenneth Williams and Juliet are the children of Late General Alexander Williams the former General Manager of the Sierra Leone Diamond mining operation(SLDMC ).

I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest USD 18Million belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank.This money is revenues from solid minerals and diamonds sale which were under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out.

Following the brake out of the war, almost all government offices, cooperation’s and prostates were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was looted and burnt down to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel military forces who attacked my fathers office.

Regrettably, my father was captured and murdered along with half brother in cool blood ,My mother sustained very sever bullet injuries which resulted to her untimely and painful death.Before our mother died, she told us that our father deposited this money which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast. She advise me to find a trustworthy foreign business partner who would help us to transfer and invest this money in profitable business venture overseas. She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave the Refugee camp Ivory Coast, then settle down abroad. She gave us all the bank documents to prove the deposit and then told us that my father used my name as the only son to deposit the money in the bank .She told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace. I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the director of International remittance who assured me that the everything is intact and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account as soon as I provide my partners foreign bank account for them.

However, the director is very concerned because of my age, I am 21 years and as such promised to help me and he would like to speak with my partner to ensure that this money is invested wisely in business because of his personal interest and sympathy for me.

Please note that I can only offer you 25% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance in accordance with my mothers advise. I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you would also get a school for me and my little sister so that we can finish our college education. Please we need your help now because we are alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives or any body to
care for us at our tender ages.

If you are serious and ready to assist us,indicate your interest to enable us give you more details.

Thanks, and I await your immediate response.

Yours sincerely.
KENNETH AND JULIET WILLIAMS
